It’s time for the weekly Pinterest round up! Here are 5 of my favourite pins that I think you’ll enjoy, especially with Easter coming.
1- This recipe was posted on Bit of Foodsense by my friend Alison. I made them last year and couldn’t get enough. I have to remember to get icing sugar to... 
When I started this blog in 2009, my daughter was just a baby. I knew I wanted to have something on the web that was my own, a place to share and write and connect with others. But that’s about all I knew.
This blog is hardly a journal, although I love to share snippits of our life from time to time.... 
I feel prepared this year. I am all set for Easter weekend (I think). At least I know the chocolates are bought and gifts ready to go.
We don’t buy large gifts at Easter, but usually there are some fun new toys to check out. Since both of my kids have winter birthdays, Easter is a nice spring time... 
It’s almost April already! April showers bring May flowers? What does it mean when March has degrees in the negatives and mid-twenties?
Either way, as always, there’s lots happening in and around Ottawa over the next couple of weeks for families and parents. Here’s a sampling of... 
We had a real taste of spring (summer actually!) last week, and now we are in shock that it’s gotten so cold again!
But as we are wrapping up the long, cold winter months, we are looking for new fun activities and adventures to do.
We will continue our gymnastic classes one afternoon a week, the kids are... 
I don’t know what the key to a successful marriage is, but I do know when I’m happy which is a pretty basic way to describe my current marital state, but it’s accurate.
What I have learned over the years (8 this year) of marital bliss, is that Andy and I function heavily with a good dose of... 
For those of you who know me, my love for the game Angry Birds is known. Today, the new Angry Birds Space was launched. NEW BIRDS!
The game is addictive, in a good way. It’s fun, and silly, and I love it.
I first really got into the game when I had bad insomnia when Andy was sick. I had to stay... 
When we were debating whether or not we wanted to move houses, I knew I was making some decisions based on the heart, not just the mind. I had always said that I would be emotionally attached to this house, no matter what our decision – we built it, we came home as a married couple to it, we brought... 
Thanks to Future Shop, my family will be checking out the Ottawa 67s in game 2 of the playoffs against the Belleville Bulls on Friday night.
But Future Shop also gave me some to give away to readers!
This is a quick turn around (ends tonight) since they just announced the play off dates but you can win:
-A... 
As a Fisher Price Mom with Mom Central Canada, I get to share with you some pretty fun stuff and this time I get to share with you some discounts with their Celebrate and Save coupons! YAY for savings!
Check out the link for Fisher Price Savings and find some deals on baby gear (I remember the days when I had... 
The last time I tried a Pinterest activity it was a success when judging it on function, but a failure on looks. You can recap the post here.
This time I tried 2 recipes from Pinterest. How did they turn out? Let’s see:
The first was a roast pan chicken. The original pin:

It’s already Wednesday of March Break which is really hard to believe.
We’ve been really busy – I took my daughter to meet Rapunzel and Flynn Rider at Boston Pizza in Orleans on Monday and she had a blast. So much fun!
Yesterday we hit up the Science and Tech museum and Toonie Movies at... 
I just LOVE these 2-ingredient home made cosmetic recipes from the Queen of Green.
I want to try the face masks, the conditioner…it’s all made with stuff that are in our pantries. Hooray for eco-friendly!
While for years we’ve had the children’s bath products, lotions, toothpaste etc.... 
It’s March Break for us in Ottawa so we have the luxury of no rushing around in the morning.
In all honesty, since my son is only in school for a couple hours a day, the morning rush is the biggest change for us when March break begins (although that will will change next year!). It means that the...
